A 41-year-old Carson City man was arrested on Monday, July 31 at around 1 a.m. for two warrants of domestic battery charges, a residential burglary felony charge and a destruction of property misdemeanor charge.
Gilbert Ortiz was in the passenger seat when the driver of the black sedan ran a red light, turning left and almost striking the front of the officer’s patrol unit that was sitting at the traffic light.
The officer requested for a second unit to assist. Ortiz showed up having two warrants of arrest, one for a domestic battery with a bail of $5000. The second warrant was for residential burglary, domestic battery and destruction of property with a $25,000 bail. Ortiz was asked to exit the vehicle and was arrested by the officer.
The 38-year-old Carson City driver was a woman who the officer reported had red, watery eyes and slurred speech. The officer also smelled a strong odor of alcohol from within the car. The arresting officer conducted two impairment tests on the driver and K-9 dog was also deployed on the car, providing a positive alert on the exterior before the other officer searched the vehicle.
